Do you seriously think that because you are a black guy that you are at liberty to write this kind of condescending — bordering on self-flagellating — crap about the considerable significance of black folks in the electorate?

And do you seriously think it must be clever because Medium lets you publish it?

It’s not. There is nothing ‘woke’ about this sort of disrespect. It just means that we live in a world that let’s people — especially those too young to even know what they don’t know — say any shit they want to for clicks.
